Summary of the contracting process

The Belfast Health & Social Care Trust has successfully completed a procurement process for the supply of BINIMETINIB 45MG 28PK, a pharmaceutical product, under a direct award procurement method. The procurement was part of a broader conformity to Northern Irish devolved regulations. The contract was awarded to PIERRE FABRE LIMITED, which operates from London. With a total contract value of £420,000, the contract comes into effect from 7th May 2026 and will run until 31st March 2028. This procurement process is classified under the "goods" category, and due to the nature of the product, a direct award was deemed necessary to meet the patient care requirements efficiently.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses operating in the pharmaceutical industry, particularly large-scale suppliers with capacity to manage such direct awards. The direct award underlines the potential for businesses holding exclusive rights or intellectual property in pharmaceutical goods to engage with public health organizations. Enterprises with innovative or patent-protected medicines might particularly benefit from similar procurement opportunities, given their specialised capabilities that match the specific needs of healthcare trust procurement strategies.
